Course Description:

This seminar addresses the substantive and procedural legal issues of international investment disputes. Specific attention will be paid to the dispute resolution procedures common to many international investment agreements, including bilateral investment treaties and investment chapters of free trade agreements. We will spend a good deal of time discussing the rights and obligations of investors and host States and the fundamental legal standards that govern international investment law such as expropriation and fair and equitable treatment. The seminar will ask students to focus the investor-state dispute settlement field from the perspective of practice: how and why the system was created, how it currently operates, and why there are calls to reform it in the future.
